What is your Virtual Function?

Day: January 13, 2018

Having read Paulo Marques article Working with Azure Storage Tables from PowerShell I decided to make the edits to my auditing scripts and push the results into Azure Tables to act as a repository I have the ability to keep but also one that gives me more options. Moving forward we can look to update or pull this information out on demand or use it as a basis of a comparison. I find it quite useful to have an independent record of the starting and end state of an environment pre and post any work undertaken.

There are a number of ways you can audit an Azure environment. With most of my customers I have implemented OMS, often using a combination of paid and free tiers to achieve the reporting they need to meet their own requirements and standards.

I’m a big fan of OMS, this script represent only one way to gather information and a chance to try something new in PowerShell.

To get started you’ll need to follow the instructions in Paulo’s article to install the correct module and from there I suggest following his guide as this will give you a good understanding how the commands operate. Once competed it is a straight forward process to integrate this in to any auditing script you currently have. The example below already has a table created.
